This paper reviews the literature on how science teachers teach socioscientific issues, finding that teachers generally have a partially informed understanding of SSI-based teaching. Teachers face various challenges in teaching SSIs and lack explicit strategies to cope with them, indicating a need for more support and collaborative efforts to improve teaching quality.
Science education in recent years has increasingly emphasized the connections between knowledge and matters of social importance. Socioscientific issues (SSIs)?complex, often controversial issues linked to the development of science and technology?are widely recognized as a valuable arena for the school curriculum to foster students? scientific literacy. This paper reviews the research literature on how science teachers teach socioscientific issues with 25 empirical studies published between 2004 and 2019. The results show that teachers generally hold a partially informed understanding of SSI-based teaching. Multifarious challenges facing teachers in teaching SSIs are mainly at the teacher, student, and policy levels. However, our findings suggest that teachers lack explicit strategies to cope with these challenges and that SSI-based teaching should not rely on individual teachers alone. We argue for more support for teachers to improve the quality of their implementation of SSIs. This review has implications for education policymakers, teacher educators, school leaders, and teachers to respond to the challenges facing teachers in teaching SSIs collaboratively. Potential directions for further research are also discussed.
